"Computer did the "gotta send info to Microsoft" but when tried to reboot it ran through automatic repair without success. I did all the alternative without any success. He came and picked up the hard drive on Tuesday and returned it on Saturday. Fortunately he was able to "restore" without any data loss. Very happy with outcome."

"Sent message 3/5/19 for a quote On 3/6 a plumber came out for an estimate arriving within the first hour of the 4 hour time slot. He found a crack in my faucet’s flexible hose. Given a choice of ordering a replacement part vs a new faucet I decided to go for replacement which he picked up and installed. All work done quickly with no leaks so far"

"The finished product was better than I expected. It is obvious that this company takes pride in the work that they did. After extensive masking the walls were sprayed on. This was a great rom that included my Living room, dining room, and Kitchen. It was completely finished in one day including trim, base boards, and doors. I highly recommend 4 comers construction. Really good people who do quality work."

"We reluctantly conclude that dealing with Park Mechanical and Lennox has been an expensive mistake for us. In July 2013 we signed an “investment agreement” with Park to install a new Lennox furnace and air conditioning system in our house, to replace the old system, at a cost of over $10,000. Then we learned that the five-year Lennox warranty would be good only if we paid Park to inspect our system periodically, to certify that it has been “properly maintained.” To accomplish this we were persuaded to join a Park program called the “Shamrock Club,” under which we have been paying Park $99 a year for periodic inspections to certify that the equipment still qualifies for warranty coverage. One such inspection, in January 2016, declared the system to be correct and operational. But in May 2016, when the first hot weather arrived and we turned on the air conditioning, it did not work; there was no cooling. A Park technician found that something called the TXV valve had failed. After several hot days waiting for the replacement part, the valve was replaced and the system worked again. The repair was considered a warranty issue, and we were not charged. Similarly, on March 28, 2017, a Park technician inspected the system, found it to be functioning normally, and declared it to be “on maintenance.” At the beginning of May 2017, however, when the weather turned warm and we turned the system to “Cool,” it failed again. A Park technician found that all the refrigerant had leaked out, and refilled it pending permanent repair of the leak. On May 15 the technician returned and told us we would be charged $238 for the refrigerant and additionally for the labor to fix the leak. This time we learned that the Lennox warranty covers only the parts themselves that fail, and not the labor or the refrigerant needed due to the failure. No leak was found, and we were informed that the next step would be to inject a florescent marker dye into the refrigerant to show the leak – at an additional cost to us of $395. This failure is due to a failure in Park’s workmanship or in the Lennox equipment itself. The cost to fix it should be covered by warranty. Our disappointment with Park also includes Lennox, which offers only minimal warranty coverage for its products. Our experience may indicate why the company has so little confidence in what it sells. Our specific issues are: 1) Having to pay extra for warranty coverage on expensive new Lennox equipment. 2) The warranty does not cover labor and other costs that are likely when warranted equipment fails. 3) Our Lennox system has failed twice in the space of a year. This is not acceptable reliability. 4) Every Park inspection of our system has declared it to be operational and adequately maintained, including those immediately before the two equipment failures."

"Good work on the toilets. They tried to get the rocking toilet to level out by adjusting the bolts but finally the repair person recommended pulling the toilet and starting over. Since the floor was tile, the original tile installer did not level the tile with the drain properly, so the toilet need to be leveled in several areas. Appreciated that the repair person took the time to do the job right! The other toilet had some minor roots in the drain from the ill placed wisteria bush directly outside the bathroom, and the repair person gave recommendations on products to kill the roots. Still having some problems though, and will have to have them come out to go deeper into the line to pull the now dead roots out of the line. And lastly, the faucet that was leaking outside turned out to just be the hose itself was leaking - I thought this was so simple an issue that the call out fee could have been waived on that minor item, no repair was even done, he just looked at it. I put a new hose on it and problem solved. They responded promptly and clean up after themselves very well. This company was referred to me by the home warranty service that I have."

"Spectrum One is our choice over and over again for renovating our home, which was built in the 1960s. Dennis comes out and looks at the scope of the project and gets back to you in a timely manner with an incredibly detailed and professional proposal. He takes into account your vision for the home and offers suggestions for improving the project or explains how the team can make that vision come to life. The project managers who oversee the project from start to finish have been diligent, respectful and ensure that the work being done is of the highest standards. They are on-site every day with a whole team working to get the job done as beautifully and as quickly as possible. The attention to detail from the whole group is what I most appreciate. We have used them for whole-home flooring (removal, installation and baseboards), recessed lighting, countertops, backsplash and would trust them with any project. We recently completed a third project with Spectrum One that included widening doorways, redoing an outdated fireplace hearth, and remodeling two bathrooms. Everyone at Spectrum One is quick to respond, honest, creative, and fun to be around. We love them and highly recommend to anyone looking to do a renovation, repair, or build!"

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Ione, CA

Swamp coolers are quite energy-efficient, using only 15% to 35% of the electricity that traditional central air conditioning units consume. This can lead to significant savings on your energy bills. However, keep in mind that swamp coolers require water to operate and may not cool your home as effectively in extremely hot or humid conditions. When considering overall efficiency, it is essential to weigh both electricity and water usage, as well as the cooling needs specific to your local climate.

Evaporative coolers only work in dry climates because they cool by moistening the air. If the air is already moist, this will have little to no cooling effect. Central AC is a better choice if you live in a humid climate, such as the Midwest, eastern, or western coastal regions.

To install a swamp cooler on a roof, a local HVAC specialist will first find and cut a spot free of wiring and obstructions. They’ll then install metal bracing, legs, brackets, the ceiling duct register, ductwork, power, and thermostat wires. Once installed, they’ll seal all openings, attach duct connections, and install a thermostat. Before leaving, they’ll run cool water piping to the unit and inspect all the connections.

The cost to repair your swamp cooler ranges from $50 to $600, depending on the issue, whether new parts are needed, and the chosen repair service. Depending on the type of pad your system uses, you will need to change out the pads every one to three years for proper operation. When budgeting for the cost to repair a window unit, expect to pay around $230.

The U.S. Department of Energy states that swamp coolers can cool a single room by five to 15 degrees Fahrenheit. However, this largely depends on the size and installation method of the evaporative cooler. You can only achieve these results in a dry climate, such as the American South, as it’s easier to cool rooms in humid environments with central air.

Swamp cooler water usage varies depending on the size of the unit. Smaller evaporative units may use one gallon per hour, while much larger units could use up to 15 gallons of water per hour. Most homeowners can expect their unit to use between seven and 10 gallons of water per hour of usage.
